Chapter 892 A Man Who Says One Word and Means Another
The wind now seemed not to be cold anymore. It felt cool and comfortable when blowing on the hot corners of her eyes, like a hand gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Gu Wanqiu was afraid of the dark because in a pitch-black space, she couldn't help but have random thoughts, and she would scare herself with random thoughts, such as ghosts appearing behind people, under the bed, on the ceiling...
It is said that cemeteries are the places with the heaviest yin energy, and there are many dead bodies buried in the ground. On the same day and in the same area, the temperature in the cemetery is colder than other places, which is very strange.
However, most people attribute it to psychological effects, while a small number of people think it is caused by too much yin energy.
Gu Wanqiu used to be afraid of ghosts, but now she hopes there are ghosts in the world. I remember there is a saying that the ghosts you fear are the people that others miss their entire lives but cannot see in person.
"I miss you. Can you appear in my dreams? They say that after a person becomes a ghost, they take on the appearance they had before death. Did you wear any nice clothes before you died? You always pay attention to your appearance. When you come into my dreams, please wear nice clothes... just like your portrait. You must appear in my dreams often, otherwise... after a while... I will forget you."
The tears in her eyes had been dried by the wind, and she no longer shed tears, but her voice was still choked with sobs.
"You like drinking the milk I bring you. From now on, I will often bring it here for you to drink. There will be no milk spiked with drugs. I didn't know that kind of drug could kill you... I just... I just don't want others to take away your love. I don't want you to have another child who will call you dad. Please don't be angry and ignore me, okay?"
Gu Wanqiu held her cell phone tightly. She didn't know how long she had been there. She just felt that her body was so cold that she lost consciousness. If she squatted next to the tombstone, she could block the cold wind and not feel so cold anymore. But she couldn't squat like this forever. There were some things she had to face. She had to face them no matter how painful or tired she was in the cold wind. She couldn't solve the problem by keeping avoiding them.
She held the phone in her hand and played the recording again. Gu Chaodong called her "Qiuqiu" weakly with a hoarse voice.
Every time she shouted, she couldn't help but let out a "hmm" from her throat, as if responding to the words inside.
…
Li Jinxing got in the car and actually asked the driver to drive away. He seemed to be really not worried at all about what might happen to Gu Wanqiu.
The driver, however, showed some worry. After driving for a long distance, he asked again, "Mr. Li, should I come back to pick up Miss Gu later?"
Li Jinxing glanced coldly at the rearview mirror: "Do you care about her so much?"
The driver was so frightened by his sarcastic tone that he didn't dare to say anything.
Li Jinxing looked out the window and said, "It won't rain tonight, and no one will be in the cemetery. She won't be in any trouble even if she sleeps there all night."
"But Miss Gu is a woman after all, and she's timid. If she gets scared..."
"Scared?" Li Jinxing sneered as if he had heard something funny. "She wasn't even afraid of drugging her father, so why is she afraid of these things?"
The driver hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Li, I really don't want to explain what happened back then to Miss Gu..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. The driver raised his eyes and met Li Jinxing's cold gaze in the rearview mirror. Fortunately, he had a strong psychological quality, otherwise, if he had been frightened by this, he would have definitely slipped the steering wheel and fallen into the ditch.
"Do you know what to say and what not to say?"
"I understand." The driver quickly agreed, and the topic was over. The driver drove with trepidation all the way and finally arrived at Qiule Manor.
"Boss Li, we're here."
Li Jinxing was looking at his phone the whole way, perhaps waiting for Gu Wanqiu to figure it out and call him, but unfortunately, there was no call after an hour.
He clicked into the contacts and clicked on Gu Wanqiu's column several times but was reluctant to press it. Finally, he pressed the return button and returned to the desktop.
"You wait here for notification and are not allowed to leave."
"Oh... okay." The driver nodded, thinking to himself that although Li Jinxing appeared to not care about Gu Wanqiu, he actually couldn't let her go. He and Gu Wanqiu were like grasshoppers on the same rope.
He asked him to wait here for notification. It would probably not be long before Li Jinxing would ask him to pick up Gu Wanqiu.
Haha, a man who says one thing and means another.
Li Jinxing got out of the car and opened a page with his mobile phone. A topographic map was displayed with a red dot on it. The next second, the red dot began to move, and Li Jinxing had a bad feeling in his heart.
The phone vibrated violently, and a caller ID blocked the topographic location map. It was Gu Wanqiu calling.
Li Jinxing calmed himself down and thought that he was overthinking it. How could something happen to Gu Wanqiu in that place? He was very sure and certain that Gu Wanqiu would never do anything stupid after listening to those recordings.
She cares about Gu Chaodong and Gong Qing, and these things will become her weaknesses, so she won't think about dying.
Another reason is hatred. She is arrogant and outspoken. Once she harbors hatred, she will definitely try her best to retaliate. How can she leave without achieving her goal?
Li Jinxing could be said to be very confident in her. He answered the phone and said nonchalantly, "How is it? Have you figured it out? If you have, I'll have the driver pick you up..."
